Sneaky Pete 2015

Overview

Sneaky Pete is an American comedy crime drama television series created by David Shore and Bryan Cranston. The show stars Giovanni Ribisi as Marius Josipović, a con man who, upon release from prison, assumes the identity of his cellmate Pete Murphy to evade his past life. Through this deception, Marius reconnects with Pete’s estranged family, a dysfunctional and colorful group that unknowingly pulls him into situations as perilous as the ones he fled. As he navigates this new world, Marius is presented with both danger and the possibility of finding a sense of belonging within Pete’s chaotic family unit. The series originally aired from 2015 to 2019 and blends elements of crime, comedy, and drama while exploring themes of identity, loyalty, and family. Bryan Cranston, known for his work on Breaking Bad, served as an executive producer alongside David Shore. The show’s title reflects the sneaky, deceptive nature of the main character’s actions, as defined by dictionaries such as Merriam-Webster and Cambridge, which describe “sneaky” as marked by stealth or furtiveness.
